Hopeless? Feeling

Be inspired by the story of Mirasol and Jamar Tandoy. Like many newlywed couples, life has been challenging for them at first. Mirasol had to let go of her teaching career while Jamar solely relied on pastor’s allowance to get by.

God made a way for them to enjoy their simple beginnings. However, their faith was tested when Mirasol suffered a miscarriage, “It was really hard for me. I was so emotional during those times.”

As Jamar and Mirasol sought God for hope and comfort, they chanced upon The 700 Club Asia and were moved to bless their kababayans in need by donating to Operation Blessing. The couple remained hopeful but still, things did not go as expected. For the second time, Mirasol experienced another miscarriage, “I wrestled with God through prayer. I questioned Him why it happened. But my husband is full of God’s wisdom. He encouraged me and showed his care and love for me during those moments.”

The struggle they faced was truly great, but their faith was even greater. In fact, it grew stronger! While watching The 700 Club Asia, they joined the hosts’ prayer for couples who want to have a child.

After the long wait, God answered their prayer! In 2018, Mirasol and Jamar became parents to baby Gamaliel. The blessings did not end there. God also blessed them with new businesses: A coffee shop, a farm, and an online trading venture.

Jamar expressed his gratitude to God and to The 700 Club Asia, “The program has a huge impact on our lives. It reminded me that when we come to God in prayer, He really listens.”

Like Jamar and Mirasol, don’t let your situation steal your hope in God. Let His presence and promises be your source of hope as you face life’s challenges!
